Geometry: Went over the 7.1 homework and took notes on 7.2 (converse of the Pythagorean theorem). Homework is the 7.2 worksheet and tomorrow is a project work day. The kitchen geometry project is due on Friday, January 25.
Course 3: Today we read the story, The Sneetches, by Dr. Suess. Students had
to make a function machine using key math terms on their drawing. If it is not
done, it is homework. 5th hour- We started our unit on Linear equations today. It is the basic
foundation for algebra. Homework is worksheet 11.1, #1-5, 10-13.
Spanish I: Study for the midterm next week. The vocabulary worksheet and study guide
worksheet are due next Wednesday.
Humanities: Students checked chapter 7 assessment, turned in homework folders,
reviewed for our quiz and watched a video on the American Revolution in
class. Homework is to study for our quiz. The questions are below.
- Why did the colonists win the war? (give two reasons).
- What was the cost of victory? (give two examples).
- Was it worth it? why? (give two reasons).
To do well on the quiz, students should review pp. 196-197 of the
text. Note from Mrs. Petersen, try to use a mnemonic device to help you remember!
ELA - Students checked Grammar 1.8
Complements: Subject Complements and 1.9 Complements: Objects of Verbs and began
1.10: Fragments and Run-Ons. If they finished I instructed them to turn in
their 1.10....HOWEVER I will not be here tomorrow -
another Reader's Workshop clinic, so I instructed students to hold on to any
work completed tomorrow. I will collect today's and tomorrow's work on
Tuesday. Students should not turn work in to a sub regardless, but I made it
clear to all classes that substitutes are not usually in the building for a
teacher to ask about missing work, so always hold on to work until your usual
teacher is back (unless it is a long term absence).
Tomorrow students will begin Chapter 2 of the Grammar book. I
have left Lessons 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 for students to complete by
Tuesday. Have a great Weekend, remember Tuesday is the last day to take
AR quizzes.
Pre-Algebra: Problem Solving Workshop is due tomorrow. It is worth
a quiz grade!!!
Algebra: Review for Midterm!! I have attached the reviews that
I have given out in class.
